Nature, the world famous scientific journal, has become the latest international publication to highlight the incredible images ORCA surveyors captured of True's beaked whales during our trip with Jessops Academy last month.

The photos were captured by long time ORCA volunteer and guide, Brian Clasper, and were snapped in early July in an encounter which produced some of the best pictures of the species ever taken.

ORCA Head of Science & Conservation, Lucy Babey, said: "To have these once in a lifetime images recognised by a prestigious publication like Nature is yet more evidence of how important this encounter could prove to be. We are hoping this is the first of many opportunities to showcase the species to the wider scientific community and public at large as we learn more from the hundreds of photos captured on this voyage."
